        they’re getting ready for a huge offensive, and push to kyiv. january. third week. obvious choice for time frame.

        that’s why djt told putin not to ‘escalate’… he was really just reminding him “not yet”.

          50000 would not be near enough to push to Sumy, let alone Kiev. But they want to make sure they retake Kursk before the conflict is frozen.

          Lmao what? There won’t be a push for Kyiv anytime soon. And not from Kursk on the other side of the country. Even the worst scenarios don’t include Kyiv getting captured at this point.

    I’m sure I read elsewhere recently that the Ukrainian army was killing 17, 000 Russian troops a day. Fifty thousand wont last long

        Nice! So another 40 days or war. That could be a nice Christmas present 💝🎁 for the world, even if you didn’t believe in a flying spaghetti monster who created us all. Right?

      You added a zero (to yesterday’s tally).

      And is casualties, not deaths. Casualties includes wounded.
